About this listen

The final day of the Open Championship and storm clouds are gathering over the links of Muirfield. Fighting his way into the elite field of millionaire golfers, billionaire financiers, frenzied journalists and pompous officials is a journeyman golfer who is out of his depth and about to drown.

18 short chapters, over 18 long holes of one extraordinary round of golf. All eyes divert from the game’s star players to a golfer no one has ever heard of. There is no precedent for what unfurls. Nothing about our hero is normal. Commentators are dumbfounded. Rules officials are apoplectic. As events conspire, he leads global news bulletins, his audience swells, and the world is transfixed.

A tale of the human spirit, resilience, and extraordinary feats we are all capable of. A life affirming story of hope, family, love and endeavour; it will resonate with everyone, but particularly those listeners who still dare to dream.

Featured in Golf Monthly's Top 10 Golf Novels.

Perfect for golf geeks but also those who have never played the fiendish game (or even, golfed?).

Whether you're a golf enthusiast, an avid listener, or just looking for a story that will stay with you. Dive into this classic anti-hero tale.

Nominated in the 2024 Charles Tyrwhitt Sports Book Awards and gaining a Highly Commended notification.

Critic reviews

"...a page turner like no other. A journey of pure heartwarming euphoria." —Tony Jacklin, CBE

“…like playing in a major on a Sunday, you never know what’s ahead, but you just keep on hoping. And sometimes, your best hopes come in. This is what Open Links is like.” —Ian Woosnam, World No.1, Ryder Cup Player and Captain, Masters Champion

“On the day this book arrived I was planning a day's fishing. The trout have Mr Holland to thank because as soon as I started reading, I abandoned my plans.” —Ewen Murray, Sky Sports
